Obesity has become the most widespread and life-threatening epidemic that has caught up with millions of people around the globe. An estimated 300,000 deaths per year are due to the obesity epidemic.
Maintaining healthy diets, exercising regularly, and following a healthy lifestyle are the keys to losing weight and healthy living. Sadly, many people turn obese because they don’t care to follow these basic principles of healthy living.
Ironically, the foods that taste great are often the worst for health. An insatiable craving for food and sedentary life is the worst enemy of health.
Here is an amazing weight loss success story of a young man.
Jesse Shand, a young guy, loved to be online all day long and cyber-bully people. Trolling people online was his mental obsession and pleasure, allowing him to forget his physical shortcomings. And the only other thing he loved was gorging on food. Exercising or even moving out of his room was different from his interest. Within a couple of years, he had put over 500 pounds of excess fat in his body. One day while he was trolling people online, a teasing comment made by one of his online friends struck him like a bolt from the sky, and that was the turning point in his life. Here is the video that tells the real-life story of Jesse. (Video Courtesy: Barcroft TV @YouTube)
